Job 20:15–29

¹⁵He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again:

God shall cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶He shall suck ^rthe poison of asps:

The ^sviper’s tongue shall slay him.

^17tHe shall not see the rivers,

^||The floods, the ^ubrooks of ^xhoney and ^xbutter.

¹⁸That which he laboured for ^yshall he restore, and shall not ^zswallow it down:

^†According to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

¹⁹Because he hath ^†oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;

Because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

²⁰Surely he shall not ^†feel ^aquietness in his belly,

He shall not save of ^bthat which he desired.

^21||There shall none of his meat be left;

Therefore shall no man look for his goods.

²²In the fulness of his ^csufficiency he shall be in straits:

Every hand of the ^||wicked shall come upon him.

²³When he is about to fill his belly,

God shall cast ^dthe fury of his wrath upon him,

And shall rain it upon him ^ewhile he is eating.

^24fHe shall flee from the iron weapon,

And ^gthe bow of steel shall ^hstrike him through.

²⁵ⁱIt is drawn, and cometh out of the body;

Yea, ^jthe glittering sword cometh out of ^khis gall:

^lTerrors are upon him.

^26mAll darkness shall be hid in his ⁿsecret places:

^oA fire not blown shall consume him;

It shall go ill with him that is left in his ^ptabernacle.

²⁷The ^qheaven shall reveal his iniquity;

And ^qthe earth shall rise up against him.

²⁸The increase of his house shall depart,

And his goods shall ^rflow away in the day of his wrath.

^29sThis is the ^tportion of a wicked man from God,

And the heritage ^†appointed unto him by God.
